What You Should Know

You'd spot this 19.5-ounce bottle in the condiments aisle or by the grilling sauces at Whole Foods, an easy grab for backyard barbecues or weeknight dinners. It gives a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing cookout vibe — sweet-smoky comfort — while the presence of thickeners, added sugars, caramel color and 'natural smoke flavor' signals a smooth, shelf-stable product made with industrial processing rather than a single-ingredient homemade sauce.
